As already mentioned, the PandaX-II experiment [1]} has recently published results from its first 98.7 days of data,
which currently provide the most stringent upper limits on the spin-independent
DM scattering cross section on protons, \(\sigma ^{\rm SI}_p\) . In parallel, the LUX Collaboration [2]}
has presented preliminary constraints on \(\sigma ^{\rm SI}_p\)  from 332 days of data. We have combined
these two constraints on \(\sigma ^{\rm SI}_p\)  into a single experimental likelihood function, which we have then
convoluted with an estimate of the theoretical uncertainty in the calculation of \(\sigma ^{\rm SI}_p\) , as described
in [3]}, to constrain the SUSY SU(5) GUT parameter space. This
constraint has been used in obtaining the global fit whose results we have presented in the
previous Sections. Here we discuss the future prospects for direct DM detection
in light of our global fit.
